It is well know that C&C regularly hold weekends at Sandringham, amongst other country homes, for people from the arts and literary world. Jeremy Paxman and Stephen Fry have commented about these in the past.
Cool! That's what I mean - fun stuff like that! Interesting weekends with interesting people. But I think I understand - we don't know about them per se because they are not 'advertised' since they are considered 'private'. I think I am starting to understand. Monarchy is 'on view' only at official engagements and that includes all the charity stuff. Its like the charity stuff is in lieu of 'court'.
But then, what about the 'presentation at court' that the Queen discontinued in the late 50's? The phrase says 'at court' - so where was the court? Where the Queen happens to be? Why did she do that BTW - stop the presentations?
